re: #417 Spare O’Lake
Your characterization of my comment as “Kumbaya” belies your own denial of the fact that the US is in an existential struggle. Very well, enjoy your smugness.
In her initial denial that homeland security had been breached, Napolitano was in obvious denial of the seriousness of the breach of security.
Get the connection?
Hint: Denial.
You are going to have to find another word to make you seem smart. Existentialism is a philosophy, and simply does not fit in the way you are trying to use it. Even in the broadest sense, it does not apply. I think you are trying to say that your big picture view of this is that the..um.. Islamofascists are responsible for terrorism. Existentialism at its most refined is a philosophy that is apolitical, areligious. It does not support a dogma or rhetoric, it examines them.
